Print layouts

Compose a print-ready map with a title, legend, scale bar and north arrow in Map Studio's Print Layout, export it as PNG, PDF or SVG, and publish it.

Updated 20 September 2026

The Print Layout turns your working map into a finished page: a framed map with a title and the furniture readers expect.

#Open the layout

In Map Studio choose Print Layout. Set the map's title and description here, and check the composition before you publish.

#What you can set

The Print Layout lets you compose a print-ready page with:

  • a title and subtitle;
  • a legend built from your layers;
  • a scale bar and a north arrow;
  • the page orientation, portrait or landscape, and the paper size.

Pan and zoom the map inside the page until the composition is right. The page is marked Created with OrionGIS.

#Export

From the layout you can export the page as PNG, PDF or SVG. What you see on the page is what you get in the export.

#Publishing from the layout

The Print Layout is also where you publish: the layout you compose is the picture people see first, on the Layout tab of the share page. Viewers can save it with Download map (PNG). See Publish and share a map.
